Understanding the prevalent HPV genotypes in specific regions and their association with tumor development is crucial for optimizing HPV vaccination strategies and improving cervical cancer screening programs. Consequently, we are planning a large-scale, long-term study to assess the prevalence of HPV in...
Overall prevalence of HIV in Ethiopia was therefore, 0.96% while the preva- lence in urban was 3% by 2020 [3]. Targeted HIV testing among the key and priority popu- lation and early HIV diagnosis is one of the effective ways to prevent the spread of the epidemic [4]. This helps to ...
HIV infection significantly increases the risk of HPV infection, persistence, and rapid progression to cervical cancer, resulting in higher cervical cancer prevalence [32]. HPV/HIV co-infection is increasingly prevalent in high-HIV-burden regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, driven by shared transmission ...

In 2013, an estimated 1.1 million (13%) of the 9.0 million people who developed TB worldwide were HIV-positive. The African Region accounted for 78% of the estimated number of HIV-positive incident TB cases. In Ethiopia, the prevalence of HIV co-infection among TB patients revealed varying...
While there are limited studies assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Latin America, there are none, to our knowledge, in Venezuela. This study aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among PLHIV seen at the outpatient clinic of a...
Results: In total, 3681 HIV inpatients with blood culture data were included and 683 strains identified from 646 inpatients were further analyzed. The median age of patients was 38 years and male accounted for 86.84%. The pooled prevalence of BSI was 18.55% (12.01%–22.36% during the six-...
In Ethiopia, delayed presentation (DP) for HIV care among vulnerable groups such as tuberculosis (Tb) /HIV co-infected patients has not been assessed. We aimed to assess the prevalence of and factors associated with DP (CD4 < 200 cells/μl at first visit) among Tb/HIV co-infected ...
